Why Angular?

Philosophies

Backbone.js“minimal set of data-structure and view primitives

for building web application with JavaScript”

Ember“framework for creating ambitious web applications”

AngularJS“Toolset for building the framework

most suited to your application development”

“Basic” Models

Backbone.jsclass App.Beer extends Backbone.Model class App.Beers extends Backbone.Collection ! model: Beer

EmberApp.Beer = DS.Model.extend title: DS.attr("string") abv: DS.attr("number") country_id: DS.attr("number") brewery_id: DS.attr("number") brewery: DS.belongsTo("App.Brewery") country: DS.belongsTo("App.Country")

AngularJSApp.Beer = {}

“Remote” Models

Backbone.jsclass App.Beer extends Backbone.Model urlRoot: "/api/v1/beers" class App.Beers extends Backbone.Collection url: -‐> if @brewery_id? return "/api/v1/breweries/#{@brewery_id}/beers" else return "/api/v1/beers" model: Beer

EmberApp.Beer = DS.Model.extend title: DS.attr("string") abv: DS.attr("number") country_id: DS.attr("number") brewery_id: DS.attr("number") brewery: DS.belongsTo("App.Brewery") country: DS.belongsTo("App.Country")

EmberDS.RESTAdapter.reopen namespace: 'api/v1' App.Store = DS.Store.extend revision: 14 adapter: DS.RESTAdapter.create()

AngularJSApp.factory "Beer", ($resource) -‐> return $resource "/api/v1/beers/:id", {id: "@id"}, {update: {method: "PUT"}}

Routers

Backbone.js@Router = Backbone.Router.extend initialize: -‐> @countries = new Countries() routes: "breweries/:brewery_id": "brewery" "breweries/:brewery_id/edit": "breweryEdit" brewery: (brewery_id) -‐> @changeView(new BreweryView(collection: @countries, model: new Brewery(id: brewery_id))) breweryEdit: (brewery_id) -‐> @changeView(new BreweryEditView(collection: @countries, model: new Brewery(id: brewery_id))) changeView: (view) => @currentView?.remove() @currentView = view $("#outlet").html(@currentView.el)

Ember

App.Router.map -‐> @resource "brewery", {path: "brewery/:brewery_id"}

EmberApp.BreweryRoute = Ember.Route.extend model: (params)-‐> App.Brewery.find(params.brewery_id)

AngularJSApp.config ($routeProvider) -‐> $routeProvider .when("/breweries/:id", { templateUrl: "/assets/brewery.html", controller: "BreweryController" }) .when("/breweries/:id/edit", { templateUrl: "/assets/edit_brewery.html", controller: "EditBreweryController" })

Controllers/Views

Backbone.jsclass @BreweryEditView extends Backbone.View template: "brewery_edit" events: "click #save-‐button": "saveClicked" "keypress #brewery-‐title": "titleEdited" initialize: -‐> super @countriesView = new CountriesView(collection: @collection) @$el.html(@countriesView.el) @model.on "change", @render @model.fetch() render: => @$("#country-‐outlet").html(@renderTemplate()) return @

saveClicked: (e) => e?.preventDefault() attrs = title: @$("#brewery-‐title").val() synonyms: @$("#brewery-‐synonyms").val() address: @$("#brewery-‐address").val() @model.save attrs, success: (model, response, options) => App.navigate("/breweries/#{@model.id}", trigger: true) error: (model, xhr, options) -‐> errors = [] for key, value of xhr.responseJSON.errors errors.push "#{key}: #{value.join(", ")}" alert errors.join("\n") titleEdited: (e) => title = @$("#brewery-‐title").val() @$("h2").text(title) ! # further code omitted

EmberApp.BreweryController = Ember.ObjectController.extend save: -‐> @store.commit() # further code omitted

AngularJS@EditBreweryController = ($scope, $routeParams, $location, Brewery) -‐> $scope.brewery = Brewery.get(id: $routeParams.id) $scope.save = -‐> success = -‐> $location.path("/breweries/#{$routeParams.id}") $scope.errors = null failure = (object)-‐> $scope.errors = object.data.errors $scope.brewery.$update {}, success, failure

Templates

Backbone.js<h2><%= @model.displayName() %></h2> <form> <div class="control-‐group"> <label class="control-‐label" for="title">Title</label> <div class="controls"> <input type='text' class='input-‐xxlarge' value='<%= @model.get("title") %>'id='brewery-‐title'> </div> </div> <div class="control-‐group"> <label class="control-‐label" for="synonyms">Synonyms</label> <div class="controls"> <input type='text' class='input-‐xxlarge' value='<%= @model.get("synonyms") %>'id='brewery-‐synonyms'> </div> </div> <div class="control-‐group"> <label class="control-‐label" for="address">Address</label> <div class="controls"> <textarea class='input-‐xxlarge' id='brewery-‐address'><%= @model.get("address") %></textarea> </div> </div> <button class='btn btn-‐primary' id='save-‐button'>Save</button> <a href="/breweries/<%= @model.id %>" class='btn'>Cancel</a> </form>

AngularJS

Pros/Cons

Backbone.js• Too simple

• Not opinionated enough

• “Memory” management

• Unstructured

• Spaghetti code

• Lightweight

• Not opinionated

• Simple

• Easy to read source

• “widget” development

Pros Cons

Ember• Too complex

• Overly opinionated

• Heavyweight

• ember-data - not production ready (very buggy)

• Little to no mind-share outside of Rails

• Difficult to read source code

• Structured

• Highly opinionated

• “less” code

• “large” apps

Pros Cons

AngularJS• Difficult to read source

code

• jQuery plugins require custom directives

• Large apps requiring self-imposed structure

• Lightly structured

• Lightly opinionated

• “less” code

• Plain JavaScript

• Simple/Powerful

• Easy to test

• Lightweight

• small, medium, or large apps
